Dr. Ricotta is a wonderful doctor. His curriculum vitae speaks for itself, but he is also a kind, caring, and compassionate person. Everyone in his office has also been very caring and considerate. I feel privileged to have him as my vascular surgeon.

Tells it like it is and explains in layman terms Explained when a procedure could do more damage and sometimes it is best left alone. Not what I wanted to hear but understand the high risk which I'm not willing to take. Must protect what I have ..

Dr. Ricotta is an extremely professional and knowledgeable doctor. He was referred to me by a friend. I looked up his credentials before I made my appointment. I was really impressed by his educational background. I called his office and was really impressed by the kind of service I was given by his secretary. I had my appointment with Dr. Ricotta, and had my tests that he thought I should have, in a matter of weeks. I received the results immefiately. He is GREAT! I felt very informed by him!
